Hi, I understand the thinking behind the release cycle, but am wondering how people cope with the desire to use more bleeding edge ghc versions. I'd rather not sacrifice the convenience of the platform if at all possible.
Eg. I'd like to use the repa library, and it's suggested to use ghc > 6.13.20100309 for a large performance boost. Since I'm writing parallel code to get more perf, this is a strong draw. Is there any way to easily convince the various bits to let me masquerade a top of tree ghc as whichever version is expected by the most recent haskell platform? (6.12.1 seems to be it, though I thought there was to be a release supporting 6.12.2 in april).
